I'm kind of ok with this patch and the next one about state, but I
didn't ack them in the previous series.

My main concern is that it is not valid to change the vq address after
DRIVER_OK in VirtIO, which vDPA follows. Only memory maps are ok to
change at this moment. I'm not sure about vq state in vDPA, but vhost
forbids changing it with an active backend.

Suspend is not defined in VirtIO at this moment though, so maybe it is
ok to decide that all of these parameters may change during suspend.
Maybe the best thing is to protect this with a vDPA feature flag.
I think protect with vDPA feature flag could work, while on the other hand vDPA means vendor specific optimization is possible around suspend and resume (in case it helps performance), which doesn't have to be backed by virtio spec. Same applies to vhost user backend features, variations there were not backed by spec either. Of course, we should try best to make the default behavior backward compatible with virtio-based backend, but that circles back to no suspend definition in the current virtio spec, for which I hope we don't cease development on vDPA indefinitely. After all, the virtio based vdap backend can well define its own feature flag to describe (minor difference in) the suspend behavior based on the later spec once it is formed in future.

Jason, what do you think?

Thanks!
